Spent a frustrating morning at a friends where he'd done the Windows 10 upgrade to discover Cubase and Sibelius were now silent. The Lexicon advice was not to move to Windows 10, but too late. So he's now waiting for a nice red 2i2 to arrive.

Hey everyone. I’m new to this community and I have a problem that’s been absolutely KILLING me.

To begin, this is my set up:
Windows Vista (64 bit), 4 gigs RAM, 250 GB hd, 500 GB external HD (7200 rpm), Lexicon Lambda, 2 MXL 990’s, and an AKG CCS d11 bass drum mic.

I'm wondering what you guys think would be a better choice, overall. I've been leaning towards the E-MU, but I wanted to get a couple more opinions from you guys.

I'll be using this interfaces to record all types of music.

I’m having a horrible time getting my Lexcion Lambda interface to install. It worked fine on my laptop which is running windows xp, but as soon as I plug it into my desktop running windows 2k, windows identifies it then blue screens and shuts down.

I'm thinking of getting a Lexicon lambda, using it with a laptop to do recording and doing the audio editing on my PC. Looking at the minimum requirements has me worried - XP, Pentium III (preferably IV), 256M (preferably 512M of Ram) are okay, but it says 7200rpm Hardrive, which of course I don't have in a laptop. I think it's 4200rpm is what I'll have to work with.

I might buy Lexicon Lambda USB Audio interface for ca 100 USD. I'll use it with cubase. Anybody who know about this sound card?
Any suggestions is welcome!
